My invention relates to atomifzers orflike instruments; and-has for its object thepro* vision of simple and" improved `means y'for closing the communication bothibetweeh'the liquid receptacle `and-.the sprayfheadand the t atmosphere and suchflrec'eptacle toy enable the instrumentto be packed, carrie'd in the pocket or inverted withoutliability of spilling the contents of` the receptacle, thusV enhanc-l'` i ing itspracticability and commercialvalue.

TheV operation, constructionla'nd arran 'el-l ment of the partsof the invention are fu ly` -tube in section and said parts in closed 'osi' tion, and Fig.l 4 isan innerfaceview'o the lower valve part.` g f Referring to the dra-wings, 1" designates a liquid receptacle to the neck of; which is se-` cured the usual ferrulemember 2 into which the plug 3 is screwed or otherwise suitably secured.

vided with a vertical channel 10 which opens` at its upper endl into the throat of the `spray-head 5 and has its lower end communicatinglwith the upper `end of the.l tube i8 throughachannel 11., `thelowelnerid of which is offset relative tothe axis of the standard 4, aradial'groove 12 in the top surface of theplug 3, *the outer end'of which terminates short of the outer edge vof such plug, and an aperture 13 inftheside'of the tube 8, which aperture `registers with the inner end of-the groove 12, as -indicatedin Fig. 2. With this manner of communication `between the in'- terior ofthe receptacle and the spray-head throat it is a parent that the same may be completely c osed i by simply turning the standard 4 relative to the plug 3 so as to mjove both the lower end of the channel 11 andthe aperture 13 in the tube out of register With the'groove or other passage 12. Air, to take the llace of the liquid drawn from "the'recepta'c e, is admitted thereto through a -channel `14in the base of the standard 4 and a channel 15 in the plug 3, the contiguous endspofuwhich channels register whenv the channel 11 and'groove 12 are in register.
